This whole idea of every time a QB goes down assum someone will trade for him is stupid. He is here, and will be gone when his contract is up.
Agreed. Say GB or TB coughs up a 1st or 2nd rounder in a panic. Then McCarron has to learn their offense in a week at most and try to seamlessly guide them to the playoffs. This might be tough for some to imagine, but what if he can't do that? Then what? They just gave up a top pick for a short term rental? It'd be dumb.
Heck, I think that's partly why teams won't pick up Kaepernick right now. He'd have to learn an offense on the fly. Tennessee caught so much grief for not signing Kaep, but they signed Weeden who was familiar with their offense. At this point in the season it's best to roll with what you have or someone familiar with your system...unless you can get a monster talent like Brett Favre or Tony Romo.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
